The hydropower plant transforms one form of energy into another. However, the total amount of energy of the water stays the same until it enters the turbine.Explain how this statement is supported by the three column charts above.

Drag each label to the correct location. Each label can be used more than once.In a hydropower station, water stored in dams is allowed to fall with force to make a turbine move. The turbine moves and produces electricity. In the diagram, identify the stages of transformation of energy in the hydropower station.gravitationalenergykineticenergyelectricenergy

Describe the form of energy that is transformed into electrical energy in a hydroelectric power station, and explain how the water gained its energy.

Like all models, the flow diagram for the hydro power plant is simplified.Propose one energy transfer or energy transformation that could be added to the flow diagram to make it more accurate.

Hydroelectric dams are 90% or more efficient, meaning 90% or more of the original energy is converted into the final, usable form. But that still leaves up to 10% that isn't transformed. In the diagram above the locations of the two main sources of waste energy are marked with pink labels.Propose the forms of the waste energy from these locations. Write them into the diagram. Hint 1: One kind is created by friction in a machine.Hint 2: If you can't think of the second one, go to the next question – it might help.

Does the water coming out from the turbines move at the same speed as the water going into them?Explain your answer with reference to the energy transformation occurring in the turbines.
